Just go with the GT500 TB
yea, ill throw that into the cart of stuff to buy....

Also, I found everything ill need to make a blow-through setup with lightblades helps..... came out to be just under $300 bucks minus the BOV....

Along with....
-Steeda deleltes
-GT500 TB
-Tial 50MM BOV with 10-11psi spring
-2.87" pulley which ill pick up on a trade with NYshelby

Now I still have to make up my mind with who to tune with.....
-Efilogics
-Evolution Performance
-JDM
I think that will be decided on who's not busy packed which kinda throws out JDM haha

Just have EFilogics tune your car. He did a good job last time.

I would have Chris tune it..Hes tuned your car before..
Yea, he did pull off 40-50 more HP then I expected.... And I know Chris has the car in his data base to pull up and see what he did before.... I gotta call him soon and ask if I can run my current tune with these LT's just to break in the motor since I cant really go WOT for 1000 miles.... If not maybe he could email me a update for it... I will say, he's a busy man and tough to get a hold of haha
Nice build man!! Definitely a great job! Keep it up man!!
Thanx chris!

Got to cleaning the 14" of snow off the car today so I could pop the hood and throw the Prothane bullit motor mounts on....

Before I removed the stock motor mounts... Notice the rat nest of wires I have to sort through to sneak the motor back in and make sure they all get connected to the right spots.... Christ..... :rant:
